Fraud involves false statements made with the intent to deceive that cause financial harm.

In California law, fraud and misrepresentation cover false statements of fact, knowledge of falsity, intent to mislead, reasonable reliance, and resulting damages.
Elements include a false statement of material fact, knowledge of its falsity and intent to induce reliance, actual reliance by the other party, and damages. The process typically involves evidence gathering, document preservation, negotiation, and if needed, court action.
